What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?

Just a point and shoot, Sony Cyber-shot HX5

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

I shot this outdoors on a cloudy day, which was good for removing any harsh shadows. I perhaps should have used a fill flash to provide a bit more light onto the dog. Otherwise, the lighting was not tricky.

Advice

  • It might have been smart to use a fill flash.
  • I'm glad I moved in close and filled the frame with the dog's head.

If You Remember, What Were the Camera's Settings?

Just a point and shoot scene mode - fully automatic

What Did You Learn About Photography With This Photo?
